After reading hundreds of posts in here, I took the plunge and emailed David Lanling about his superb 150mW green laser modules.
I mentioned that I had seen so many positive comments on here and he gave me a HUGE discount! He also sent it by UPS and got it from China to the UK in under 3 days!!!
I don't know about anyone else who has one of these, but I was amazed at how small it is compared to how it looks in pictures. I should also mention that this is my first laser capable of burning (other than a small IR module), and boy does it burn!
The build quality is phenomenal with a lot of care taken in production. Powering it up, a lovely hum is made from both fans in the PSU and laser itself. A second later and the most incredible solid green beam powers into the distance.
It burns well close up and even a few feet away too.
One thing I'm amazed at is the beautiful light show on the wall when you leave something to burn in its path. A solid black plastic produces a vivid moving grid effect and a cigarette packet with cellophane still on creates a wonderful amoeba like animation.
I'll hopfully rig up some motors and mirrors for even better effects!
I can certainly say that David is incredibly polite, well spoken and always willing to help. A true modern marvel!
